Skill ( sukiru, lit. "Ability") is an ability that, on rare occasions, can be acquired in recognition of some form of personal growth. Its acquisition happens by having it inscribed onto the Soul by the Voice of the World or by other Skills.

They are like formulas that, once etched onto the Soul, can be instinctively used without any practice, though their efficiency and effective use require varying amounts of practice and hard work, depending on talent and compatibility with the user.

An individual can gain Skills by using these four methods:

1.By Birth or Evolution: A method that usually only applies to Monsters who are born with Intrinsic Skills based on their Race.

2.By Combining and Evolving Skills: By using certain Skills like Degenerate that can fuse Skills, or by taking advantage of the Harvest Festival, it's possible to evolve Skills into stronger ones.

3.By Stealing from Others: Accessing the Soul of an enemy breaking the Spiritual and Astral bodies of target like Razen does, or using Skill-theft specific Skills like Gluttony or Usurper, allows one to acquire the target's skills.

4.By voluntarily granting duplicates of Skills: Through naming or via certain Skills like Gluttony of Beelzebuth, it's possible to share one's Skills with others.

Skill types:

Intrinsic Skills| Common Skills| Extra Skills| Unique Skills| Ultimate Skills|


 * Intrinsic Skill refers to the innate Skills that most Monsters possess. They are generally the same for the whole race, but Unique Monsters can be exceptions, and higher evolution stages likewise usually grant more Skills.


 * Common Skill refers to the most common of Skills.


 * Extra Skill refers to Skills with power and efficiency magnitudes higher than those of Common Skills.


 * Unique Skill are fundamentally different from the lower Skills.


 * Ultimate Skill, as it is called, is a device to grant access to the ultimate principles of the world. That is why, in order to combat against an Ultimate Skill, one must employ an Ultimate Skill as well. (Will be added in Tensura:Reincarnated)
